u force it home, no lube, just spit,

as for bog roll, the leaves are plentiful, failing that just rip the pocket of your shirt, or a passing cow

Don't forget food and drink if it's gonna be a long one!

A smal folding saw is always handy as well. Cheers, D.

bar shovel garden pike is all i take and locater.bet yee get sick of carrying that around

[Johnny85 50]

A bar (T-bar) and shovel would do. Luxuries include:

 

Small pick

5'-6' Foot bar for moving rock

Slash hook

Nets (for drians)

Folding saw

Torch

Bleeper

 

Everthing else is just more to wash and carry and stop your friends stealing.

 

P.S

To take fox out. you will need one gutsy foxhound or quick pair of hands or hardy terrier

dog, collar and box, and a 3CX never had a problem digging any earths yet!!

[irishnut 297]

i use welding gauntlets to pull fox out, they're thing enough to stop the teeth getting through, but it still hurts, i like the idea of the pole grapper yoke, but do you not end up having to dig a slightly longer hole to get it in to foxy,

my first aid kit has a hypothermia blanket and eye wash in it,

as for carrying it, i dont, i leave the land rover about 75-100 yards away, and most of the gear is in there.
